The tragic death of the larger-than-life comic Robin Williams occurred nine years ago, but her memory and legacy live on in our hearts.
Many people thought that Williams’s choice to terminate his life was motivated by depression and drug misuse; this belief devastated the entire world.
However, another factor was also at play in the unfortunate demise of Robin Williams. That’s why Susan Schneider Williams, Robin’s widow, chose to come clean about her husband’s murder.
The passing of legendary comedian Robin Williams in 2014 was a blow to the global comedy community. It was said that Robin was a witty guy, a family man, and an affable human being. Thanks to his legendary performances in films such as Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Aladdin, fans all over the globe held him in high esteem.
His real-life friends and family observed that he could light up people’s lives when they needed it most, and that his charisma was equally contagious when he wasn’t on camera.
Marriages and kids
Three marriages and three children were the fruit of the cherished actor’s life.
Valeria Velardi was Williams’ first wife, whom he met in June 1976. Williams used to be a regular barman in San Francisco before he became renowned.
“He was bartending. He had a French accent, offered me a drink, chatted me up and was absolutely delightful,” Valeria said in 2018.
“He asked me for a ride home. He was speaking French and I was teasing him and we had a kiss. And I just knew I was going to see him again”.
